I work as a Production Sound Mixer on Film and High End TV dramas and have been in the business for over 20 years. I have been fortunate enough to travel a lot with my work and enjoy a varied working lifestyle. I like to deliver the highest quality of sound recording and test the boundaries of excellence everyday. The challenge of everyday working on set is the difficult environments and making everything work there. Whether it be the mountains of Mongolia, the plains of Thailand, working within a community in Africa, each bespoke situation has the same amount of planning and attention to detail as the last, which brings satisfaction and an amazing experience.

Just finished double banking on Hanna Series 2.
 Although staying on a smaller cart set up it got an upgrade with a small patch bay for 8 inputs and outputs. This is a 10.5inch 1U rack option that can be good for smaller set-ups. Also it featured a smaller power unit- PSC Powerstar Euro life- http://professionalsound.com/specs/powerStarEuroLiFE.htm
This gave me an extra 20AH battery for back up and AC power supply so it can act more like a big cart. It works really well and has 8 outputs and 4 USB ports.

It was also the first time working at the end of the shoot dates with a fully female team. Go team!

Top Boy Season 3- Netflix
Top Boy is soon to be back on the screens, having taken time out for a few years. It has moved from channel 4 to Netflix and follows the stories of Dushane and Sully again.
Written By Ronan Bennet and Produced by Cowboy Films. Season 3 is 10 episodes long and will air in July 2019.
My team and I did the sound on 7 of the episodes and it was a real labour of love.

Here is the mini cart hard at work on Top Boy. Many locations were small and hard to access so having a smaller rig was really beneficial. It did not give me the option for patchbays, or lots of power distribution but it did give me the option for easy access of locations and lightweight. Sometimes you have to give up some things to gain others.
